Reana del Rojale, villages along the Torre just north of Udine
Reana del Rojale is very close to Udine: the municipality lies just north-east of the city and stretches across the Friulian plain along the Torre river towards the first hills. There is no single centre, but several villages, each with its own church and houses, linked by country roads and by residential areas that have grown up in recent decades.
For people working in Udine it is a convenient choice: a house with a garden, less traffic and the city a quarter of an hour away. Homes are mostly detached and semi-detached houses, next to old Friulian houses with courtyards in the historic cores. The Torre has a wide, gravelly bed that is usually almost dry, but it rises quickly after heavy rain; houses close to its banks should be assessed against the official flood maps, which the report checks for the address.
The population is shrinking and ageing. Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 4,631 residents in 2023, down 8.0% since 2011, with an average age of 49.2 (48.5 for the province) and over-65s at 27.9%. Foreign residents make up 5.8%.
Earthquake risk deserves attention. Friuli remembers 1976 well, and the province of Udine has 19 municipalities in seismic zone 1, the highest, and 71 in zone 2. Reana del Rojale is in zone 2, but with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.241 g, a high value for this class. For a house built before the 1980s, ask whether it was rebuilt or strengthened after the earthquake, and what paperwork proves it.
